This thread is not for the discussion of next years compendium. I'm sure there'll be another opportunity (with cooler heads) to discuss next years compendium.
What the compendium was never intended to be, was an almanac, an ephemeris etc. There's already a very good publication called "Astronomy 2010 Yearbook" with enough ephemera that anyone could ever want.
It was also never (and will never) be a competition. All images will always be accepted.
Marg!
